Eucharistic Processions
-
A noble form of Adoration is the Eucharistic Procession, such as the traditional procession our parish makes through the streets of Chattanooga on Corpus Christi Sunday. The Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul has taken on the custom of celebrating First Holy Communions in the parish for both our English- and Spanish- speaking communities on the weekend of the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, the Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

Forty Hours Devotion
-
In 2019 on our parish anniversary, the Basilica restored the traditional Forty Hours Devotion, and this experience was a great opportunity to educate and promote Adoration in our parish. It began on Thursday evening June 27 and led up to the 5:30 Confirmation Mass on June 29, our parish feast day/anniversary, which was celebrated by Bishop Stika. Many ministries and individuals committed an hour during this devotion.
At the beginning and end of each hour, certain prayers are said and sung.
